H7N9 flu one of most lethal

viruses, says WHO.
In Beijing, International experts probing
Chinas deadly H7N9 bird flu virus one the
most lethal influenza viruses seen so far
as Taiwan reported the first case outside
the mainland.
China has confirmed 108 cases and 22
deaths since the first infections were
announced on March 31. This is definitely
one of the most lethal influenza viruses
we have seen so far said Keiji Fukuda.

H7N9

H5N1

 The H7N9 virus is more transmissible

to humans than H5N1. referring to
strain the WHO estimates has killed
more than 360 people globally since
2003.
The WTO team, however, said
poultry were the likely source of the
H7N9 outbreak as chickens, ducks
and pigeons from markets had tested
positive, but nevertheless warned
over the potential for human-tohuman transmission.

 Experts have previously said the

animal reservoir for H7N9 appeared
to be unspecified birds.
So far most H7N9 cases have been
confirmed to the commercial hub
Shanghai and nearby provinces in
eastern China. But the number of
reported new cases in Shanghai has
seen a dramatic slowdown.
